The third UK Disability History Month is taking place from 22nd November to 22nd December 2012. 

The theme for this year is “Changing Lives, Changing Times, Challenging the Ideas that Lead to Hate Crime”. This will give the chance to explore the history of attitudes and how disabled people’s lives have been marked by change.

The launch event will be taking place on Thursday at 5.30-8.30pm at The Abbey Centre, 34 Great Smith Street, London, SW1P 3BU.

Speakers on the night include Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, with entertainment from the hilarious Mat Fraser, and a drinks reception with an excellent opportunity for networking.

The event is open to all, but places are limited, so please rsvp to info@ukdisabilityhistorymonth.com to confirm your place.
